Parking permits for the Spring 2016 semester are now available to order at champlain.thepermitstore.com. Remember that everyone who brings a vehicle to Champlain is required to register and that vehicles need to be registered EACH semester. See the Top 10 Things You Need To Know about parking.

The Lakeside Shuttle stop at CCM is beside the glass tower nearer to Maple St, still on the promenade but just NOT in the center of the building/promenade like it has been for fall. That way in these colder months, you can relax in the transit lounge portion or the heated glass tower while waiting for the shuttles, instead of freezing outside or huddling in the small vestibule by the ATM.

Champlain College has now joined 127 national institutions as the newest Silver Bicycle Friendly University (BFU)! We are now part of an elite group of only 45 institutions in the country that are designated a Silver or better BFU and only the second to be awarded a BFU designation in the State of Vermont.

ChampShop Open Hours. Is your bike making a weird noise or not working properly? Starting this week, the self service bicycle mechanic workshop in Juniper will be staffed every Thursday between 3:30–5:30 pm. Drop in during open hours and have our Bicycle Program Coordinator, David, look it over, advise and educate you on how to maintain and repair it (or where to take it if it can't be fixed there).

October 5, 2015

The shuttle schedule for Fall Holiday Weekend is as follows:

Oct 10-12: CCM Promenade will be closed for minor construction. Any shuttles will use the Spinner bus stop at the Maple Street shelter.

We wanted to remind employees of the reward programs we offer through CATMA.

Bike/Walk Rewards: Get a $15 gift certificate for City Market, Merrells Roxy or Skirack for simply walking or biking to work 24 times in a 60 day period (essentially 3 days per week). See more details.

Guaranteed Ride Home: anyone with a Zone 1 parking permit or in the Bike/Walk rewards program can enroll. Get a free Green Cab taxi ride home or to your car in an emergency or when the shuttles aren't running. See more details.

DPW are starting reconstruction of the Pine and Lakeside intersection today. See more details.

ChampShop Open Hours. Is your bike making a weird noise or not working properly? Starting this week, the self service bicycle mechanic workshop in Juniper will be manned by our Bicycle Program Coordinator, David, every Thursday between 3:30-5:30pm. Drop in during open hours and have David look it over, advise and educate you on how to repair it (or where to take it if it can't be fixed).

For the next two weeks (July 20-24 and July 27-31) there is a large group which needs to go back and forth to Lakeside, so we are swapping the small white shuttles for full size yellow buses. What this means is that we will NOT be using the Aiken Turnaround and will be using the Maple St bus stop (where the Spinner Shuttle normally picks up). Same schedule, bigger bus. We will have signs out at both locations to remind. (NOTE...THIS HAS BEEN EXTENDED FOR AN ADDITIONAL WEEK UNTIL JULY 7TH)

ALL parking permits for Fall 2015 will be available to order on August 3rd. Remember that a new permit is needed each semester, so everyone will need to order a Fall 2015 permit. Also keep in mind that you can register up to two vehicles under the same permit, you will just need to swap the sticker anytime you use the other car. When you receive the parking permit, don't forget to remove any old stickers.

CCM construction is nearing completion...woo hoo...and what that means is that for Fall 2015, both shuttles are moving locations. The Lakeside Shuttle will pull into the CCM Promenade and align right in front of the cool glass entry. The Spinner Shuttle will move down the hill slightly on Maple St to the wooden bus shelter location. That way you will be able to sit inside the lounge area and see the shuttles arrive out of those amazingly large picture windows, without freezing your toes on the sidewalk!

Don't forget to take out one of the free ChampRides bikes, cruise with us on the ChampRidersCruise every Thursday, or check out the awesome services and programs available to you from CATMA.

Thursday, February 5th 12:30–1:30pmPerry Hall Presentation Room

We will be joined by the pro's from Outdoor Gear Exchange who will provide us with expert advice and will have samples of shoes & traction equipment (such as Yak Trax) to compare and evaluate. At least one lucky attendee will 'walk away' with a new pair of traction equipment too, just for showing up! Snacks and drinks will be provided. No RSVP needed, just turn up on the day.
